A popular retailer is under scrutiny after it’s accused of a photoshopping fail. The store’s website displayed photos of a younger woman in a bikini who was photoshopped and missing certain body parts.

The parts of the model’s inner thighs and other area are missing, giving the model a large “leg gap.” Another photoshop fail was the woman’s left arm which looked much thinner compared to her right arm.

Shoppers were outraged, and took to social media to question why already thin models were being edited to looker even thinner.

The advertisement is supposed to attract younger girls in Target’s junior clothing line. The photoshopping error has been recently taken down.
